Bikers, joggers and inline skaters should be able to traverse the entire Tammany Trace this weekend, as cleanup crews are wrapping up efforts to clear the popular recreation trail of Hurricane Isaac debris. While the storm dumped trees branches and other debris on the asphalt path that links Slidell and Covington, officials said the storm did not damage trailheads or other facilities along the trail.

"We just had 28 miles of debris," said Lisa Pratt Maddox, director of the Tammany Trace.

The section of the path between Covington and the underpass near the Mandeville Trailhead has already been cleaned and was open Thursday, and Maddox said she hopes to open the Mandeville to Slidell link by Friday afternoon.

"We hope to have everything open for the weekend," she said.

The Tammany Trace, which is in its 20th year, is Louisiana's first Rails-to-Trails project, a national program that repurposes unwanted rail lines into recreational and alternative transportation pathways. Nearly 230,000 people used the path in 2011.
